OS Ind. 375, which holds that evidence that a certain house has a bad reputation of Itself, without supporting proof that th house was resorted to by men and women of bad reputation for illegal purposes is not sufficient to justify a conviction.

NEW TORK, Aug. 20.—What Miss Geraldine Farrar, prima donna, saw when she peeped through the window of a little shack occupied by her actor husband, Lou Tellegen, in the west end section of Long Bearb. one evening about three weeks ago will form, in all probability, one of the biggest chapters'of the marital difficulties of the pair when it comes out in court, Broadway heard today.

It was said she made the trip down from New York and the intimation was held out that her ar rival at the Tellegen but was very timely. At any rate.

Miss Farrar's attorney declined to discuss the matter in any of Its phases. On her rart, Miss Farrar Is busy with plans to start on a motor trip to the Pacific coast where she is under contract for an operatic tour. U. S.

CITY EVADING .LAW; BUDGET NOT PRINTED (Continued From Page One.)

words in the tax law reading, In full, as follows: * TAX LAW IS CLK \lt ON gt B.IEf T. ‘The several tax levies shall bo es tablished by the proper legal officers of any municipal corporation, after the formulation and by them of budget on forms prescribed by the State board of accounts, showing In detail money proposed to be expended during the succeeding year, the valuation of all taxable property within (lie Jurisdiction and the rate of taxation which It is proposed to establish, and after a public hearing within the Jurisdiction at which any taxpayer shall have a right to he hoard thereon." Persons who were instrumental In obtaining passage of the present tax legislation have contended that this section was a great boon to the taxpayers In that it compelled the taxing officials to give ample notice of Just how they expect to spend the people's money. The law also gives taxpayers the right to object to any levy. The statement of those who fought for the act that If would be the means of compelling officials to give taxpayers real information as to expenditures lead to the be lief that it wns Intended that the detailed estimates In the real budget should be published. By following out the Interpretation of Mr. Ashby the city administration gives the taxpayers just one way In which to get information "showing tn detail the money proposed to bo extended during the succeeding year,” to quote the language of the law. This is by getting hold of one of the few copies of the complete budget known to bn in existance. The document, has not been printed. It has been typewritten on large sheets, bound In a loose leaf binder and so far as its known there are not more than three or four copies of it. Taxpayers may go to one of three places to get a peep into the real budget, according to Mr. Bryson. One copy is on file at the controller's office In the city ball, one at the Chamber of Commerce and one at the business branch of the public library. Although the law providing that the city budget shall be made upon forms prescribed by the State board of accounts Is almost two years old this wns not done either last year or this. The State board did not prescribe such forms until early this month. City Controller Bryson refused to use these forms because he said they came too late. Most city departments had their estimates prepared before or immediately after the new forms were promulgated. The essential difference between the city and the State board forms Is in the headings over columns for figures after the various items. In the State board forms there are columns for "Expended 19—," "Expended it)—," “Details 19—,” "Estimate by Department,” and "Recommended by Finance Committee.” The city form has columns headed. ”1920 Expenditures,” "1921 Appropriation," "1922 Request,” "Increase Over 1921 Appropriation,” "Decrease Under 1921 Appropriation,” “Allowed for 1922” and "Remarks.” A heading on the prescribed form is not found on the city form. This heading Is "In compliance with the provisions of an act of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, approved March 6, 195, entitled “An Act Concerning Municipal Corporations,” the undersigned department of said city respectfully submits the- following estimate of the expense of said department for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31. 19— SWORN STATEMENT IS ABSENT ALSO. Certification of the truth of the estimates provided at the end of the prescribed forms, also Is missing from the city forms. This certification reads as follows: "We hereby certify that the above Is a true and fair estimate of the probable expense of the Department of for the year ending DeN 31, 19—. and that according to our best knowledge and belief the amounts named in the various Items will be necessary for the proper transaction of the business of said department.” This is followed by space for the signatures of the members of the board or other department head. The annual appropriation and tax levy ordinances will be introduced In the city council Monday evening. The public hearing upon them, provided by law, will be held i t 7:30 o'clock on Friday evening, Sept 2 In the coucil chamber.

'ORDINANCES II U'F, BEEN DRAFTED. Drafting of the appropriation and civil city tax levy ordinance* was completed hy the city legal department today. The total amount appropriated by the annual ordinance will be $3,987,762.72, which is s2ou less than the figure announced by City Controller Robert 11, Bryson a few days ago. The ordinance appropriates only money for the funds supplied by the city general fund levy, which comprise the moneys for the operation of the fipnueo, public purchase, legal, safety and public works departments. The appropriation ordinance calls for $707,922.92 less than l ist year, Mr. Bryson said. This is due to the fact that $339,000 app-updated to retire temporary loans and $60.000 for the city elections appropriated for 1921 is not needed in 1922. Leaving out these sums Mr, Bryson suld the actual difference in the funds for operating the five departments in 1921 and 1922 will bo that about SB.(K less than is provided for 1922. Ho said that this should he proof that the present administration is not trying to handicap the set of new officials who will tako office next January. The total civil city levy for 1922 fixed by the levy or&nance will he 94.2 cents as announced Friday. This Is 11.9 cents less than the slO6l levy for 1921.

Representative Xlarnn of Illinois, moved that the stenographic report of the incident stand, but Representative Garner of Texas, suggested it be stricken out of the record.

Mr. Mann permitting their requests that tho remarks be left out of the record to take precedence over his motion. CHANGES MADE IN THE BILL. The Incident was the culmination of repeated Democratic attacks against the bill on the grounds that it relieved the tax burden of the rich and not the poor. Republicans of the Ways Committee, however, agreed to further changes in the bill in order to relieve “the poor.” The ehanges Included Removal of the 5 per cent tax on proprietary medicines proposed to be levied on tbe manufacturer as a substitute for the stamp tax which was previously eliminated. ■v Repeal of the tax on tooth powders and pastes ani mouth washes. Removal of the $lO tax on vendors of soft drinks. Reduction of the tax on cereal beverages—near beer —from 6 to 4 per cent. Subjection of marine insurance companies, as life insurance companies, to the fiat corporation income tax of 12Va per cent. Another change agreed to provide, that the 5 per cent tax on manufacturers of wearing apparel above a certain price should not be levied on contracts for clothes already made.

Democrats declared tha amendment would Increase tax exempt securities and was unfair to persons who invested their money in this country. Mr. Fordney would not admit he told Republicans. Herbert Hoover. Secretary of Commerce, suggested the change. Republicans contended It would stimulate foreign trade an dby encouraging Americans to Invest abroad CHARITY FI NDS ARE EXEMPT, By a vote of 64 to 25 an amendment was adopted exempting from the in * i no tax contributions to charity, community funds, other public purposes, ana the special fund created under the vocational rehabilitation set to the ex tent of 5 per cent of the net Income. Democrats c this provided further exemption for t ie rich. Other amendments adopted provide for the most part for administrative changes and for the perfection of the bill. Among them were the changes agreed to for taking the $lO tax off the drink vendors and patent medicines. Among the more Important committer amendments still to be considered is one providing for the creation of a tax investigation commission of nine members, equal numbers to be appointed by the President of the Senate.
